- rejectedandsad 5y agoThese are the people that think people like me are subhuman for working at Amazon. Pass.

- rantwasp 5y agothe reality is that compensation is sh*t, even at L6 level where you are expected to walk on water. a lot (most?) people I know that worked at Amazon used that as a resume builder that allowed them to open doors and land jobs that would be harder to get otherwise.
- defaultname 5y agoThe whole of Amazon has been tarred with working conditions for their warehouse and drivers. I assume the information workers don't have to piss in bottles and go through metal detectors. However we just recently heard about Amazon hiring to fire, with an internal policy and broken pursuit-of-metrics that yields fundamental dysfunction. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27111566 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27111566
